It doesn't snow in Portland very often. A light dusting is a big deal.

So, when I saw that it was snowing this morning (ahem... afternoon), and actually sticking, I immediately set about to dress in my warmest clothes so I could go outside and take some pictures. As I was adding the finishing touches to my snow day ensemble, I caught a glimpse of bright yellow rays streaming through my bedroom curtains.

Drat. The sun was out. The snow started to melt immediately. I'm glad I was able to get out when I did, but I missed all the glorious fluffy falling flakes.

This is the 6th entry in my Lazy 365 series. The shot I saw from inside, before I got dressed, that I wanted to be sure to get, was the snowy dust on the giant rosemary bush outside my window. The premise for my Lazy 365 is that I must see a shot, then get out the camera and get that shot. I'm not allowed to already have the camera in my hand.

oh wow, these are soo soo beautiful! I've been complaining because it dropped below 60 degrees here for the first time this winter but no I wish it was even colder just so I could take pictures like this!
